Suppose I am a brilliant independent inventor who comes up with amazing ideas but has no talent or ability in the actual production of a product. Let's say I create prototypes but do not actually produce products for mass production (FU alliteration, I'm alliterating whole words!).

The model that says that I can't license my patents or ideas means that I can't have an idea without producing a whole product. Therefore, the only way for me to innovate without getting steamrolled is to work salaried for one of the big techie companies. I can't just create my own workflow, do my own thing and sell my ideas to the big techie companies. Clearly this isn't what is happening with Rockstar, but that is what Rockstar poses as from a legal perspective and shutting them out could actually stifle some innovative individuals from creating their own living.

Anyway, I am not a brilliant independent inventor, this is just a thought._________________Freedom is the oxygen of the soul. -Moshe Dayan

Licensing something you've created should be different than anti-competitive practices. If you have a prototype, then you could go into business with someone else who DOES produce the product._________________lolgov. 'cause where we're going, you don't have civil liberties.
